Personality

Bashful Giant Wani

Compatibility

A deeply affectionate princess of the sea god who loved Yamasachihiko, but tragically parted ways due to the shame of the broken taboo. Yet, out of love for her child, she sent her sister Tamayori-bime to raise him.

Abilities & Skills

Transformation into an eight-fathom wani (shark/dragon)
Ruling the Sea Palace (Daughter of Watatsumi)
Safe childbirth, Breast Rock, Breast Candy
Prototype of the Sea Palace's Otohime
Mother of Azumi-no-Isora (Ancestor of the Azumi clan)
Imperial maternal lineage (Grandmother of Emperor Jimmu)

Weaknesses

The tragedy of having the 'do not look' taboo broken and returning to the Sea Palace—parting with Yamasachihiko forever. The shame of having her true form (eight-fathom wani/dragon) seen is the fatal weakness of this ancient goddess.
